Faced with her silence, Zachary thought she was still upset about her own identity and saddened by Jasmine’s actions.
Zachary enveloped her from behind, whispering, “Hora, do you know what Grandma told me when we were alone that day?”
Before Lenora could respond, he continued, “She told the that Ronald is not my father but my unde
U Ronald is his uncle, then his mother is… Tumarat
“And the reason I was registered under my uncle’s name was that my mother got involved with a married man and f’was born out of wedlock. Even if my parems were to change, I would still remain an illegitimae
Feeling a surge of guilt, Lenora quickly turned around and embraced him, her voice filled with remone. “I’m sorry.”
At that time, she asked him what his grandmother had told him. He gave a vague response, clearly not wanting her to know about his unfortunate background.
However, in order to comfort her now, he had willingly reopened his own wounds.
“I want to tell you that there’s nothing one can’t overcome. I couldn’t choose to whom I was born to, but I can choose my future. It’s the same for you. You can’t change the past, so don’t dwell on it. Look ahead, okay?”
Zachary added earnestly, “Parents and relatives are, after all, just passersby in our lives. You needn’t take it too much to heart. It’s natural for parents to love their children and for children to respect their parents. But if your parents are not kind, you shouldn’t let familial ties bog you down.”
Somehow, Lenora’s eyes reddened once again, and she softly responded with a hum.
Throughout this entire time, the agony and turmoil Zachary faced due to his identity was no less than hers.
“Zachary,”
“Hmm?”
“It’s nothing. Go to sleep.” Lenora said.
Just a moment ago, she almost told Zachary that she wanted to get back together.
However, just as the words reached the tip of her tongue, she held them back.
It had occurred to her that Tatara was her mother, and the phone conversation between her and Tamara recently still echoed in her mind.

The following morning, after Zachary saw Lenora off, he called Miles. “Book me a flight to Jeahron tomorrow,” he said.
“Jeahron?” Miles checked Zachary’s schedule and didn’t see anything about Jeahron.
“Exactly. Reschedule the itineraries for tomorrow and the day after,” he said.
“Alright.”
It seems it’s for a private matter.
Miles agreed, acknowledging that there was indeed a meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow. However, it wasn’t of significant importance. He could simply provide Zachary with the meeting minutes afterward. There was also a dinner arrangement with a CEO who had been a long–term business partner of Fuller Group. That could also be postponed if necessary.
Once back home, Lenora deliberated on her situation, eventually deciding to relay the current situation to Sophia.

Sophia felt a pang of sympathy for Lenora, even as she berated Jasmine and Summer. Then, she asked, “This all started because of Ezekiel, didn’t it? Jasmine is Ezekiel’s stepmother, and didn’t he say he would take responsibility for this? Does he know about what happened yesterday?”
“I’m not sure. Let me ask,” Lenora said.
She sent Ezekiel a message on WhatsApp, Ezekiel, your stepmother, Mdm. Lovestone, came to see me yesterday, asking me to forgive Howard. Did you know about this?
Ezekiel was in the car, leaning against the backseat and slightly lost in thought as he looked at the message on the screen.
He replied: I’m sorry, Nora. I’ve been dealing with this issue for the past couple of days. I didn’t expect Aunt Jasmine to seek you out. I’ll contact her right away and ask her not to bother you anymore.
Lenora: Alright, I appreciate your help, Ezekiel. However, I hope you understand that Howie is my friend, and I will help him with whatever I can.
Ezekiel: I understand.
She understood Ezekiel’s stance. He wouldn’t ask the two victims to settle, but Howard was his friend still. He wouldn’t just stand by and watch him go to jail.
Ezekiel glanced at the message from Lenora, exited WhatsApp, and slipped his phone into his pocket.
After responding, Lenora showed Sophia her phone screen.
Upon seeing it, Sophia casually scrolled through it. “Do you believe him?”
Lenora pursed her lips. “I do
Ever since they met, Ezekiel had been a great help to her in her photography. He even assisted her in capturing Gaston. After the mishap in the last photography competition, Ezekiel immediately promised to make it right, and he certainly did.
